22 JUN 18 2 AUG 18 1 | 22 JUN 18 - 2 AUG 18 49 BELMONT STREET | BELMONTFILMHOUSE.COM Cinema can be a hard sell in a World Cup summer. Although sunny weather can be a hazard in itself, introduce football into the mix and times can be even tougher. In 2014, when Belmont had only just joined the Filmhouse family, the World Cup in Brazil began in earnest and a fairly fallow period followed, even though to memory the weather wasn’t that nice (research suggests we had a very wet August). A similar pattern can often follow across the industry. There’s a reluctance to programme against the likes of a World Cup. Many summer blockbusters have been released already, leaving the films which either can thrive in their absence, or appeal to a more specialist audience. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is likely such a film and we’re pleased to have it at Belmont, given the spectacular success of the first instalment. As is Ocean’s 8, a reimagining of the Soderbergh/Clooney romps with a stellar all-woman cast - including Bullock, Blanchett, Bonham-Carter and Rihanna. Sicario, one of the best crime thrillers of the last few years, also gets a sequel, as we delve deeper into Benicio del Toro’s Alejandro Gillick in Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Stefano Sollima takes the reigns from Denis Villeneuve, but expect the same tightly plotted, dark and violent tale as 2015’s original. In a similar vein, Fatih Akin (The Cut, Head-On) returns with German-Turkish thriller In the Fade, starring Diane Kruger, which tackles a woman’s loss and pursuit of justice after her husband and son are killed in a terrorist act. Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme provides the score. Kevin Macdonald’s Whitney and Mary Shelley by Haifaa al-Mansour (director of the fabulous Wadjda) are also shown shortly after their UK Premieres at Edinburgh International Film Festival. Lord Byron features in Mary Shelley, which, as is tradition, allows us to tie at least one of the films back to Aberdeen. Another film worth mentioning is McQueen - not about Steve, but fashion designer Alexander. It is wholly appropriate, in a World Cup summer, to feature someone else who has a hand of God… All from 22 June, by which point England will have played their first game, to either your pain or pleasure. And you’d think that would be it. You’d think it would be all over, but turn the page for full film listings. Read to the end. It is now.
